New York Republican State Committee

The New York Republican State Committee is a conservative party in the US state of New York and an affiliate of the US Republican Party. The committee was founded in 1855 by William H. Seward and Thurlow Weed, and the NYRSC had a strong support base in upstate New York, far away from liberal New York City. In 2016, the party held 44/150 New York State Assembly seats, 31/63 New York State Senate seats, 3/51 New York City Council seats, and 9/27 US House of Representatives seats; the party did not hold either of the senatorial seats.
